The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Another map that's really well done. I love the individual stuff you drew for the locations. The only thing I don't really like is Fort Karry... somehow it's symbol sticks out to me and seems of lesser quality as all the rest.

I see what you're saying about Fort Karry, the perspective is different (more side on rather than isometric). It looks, to me, that as you go higher on the map the buildings get more side on...could be on purpose I dunno. The only thing gnawing at me are the precise fonts, maybe something a little rougher or hand drawn might go better but overall, a cool map.

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
